<p>Ha! I am going to have a talking board laser etched on the top of them. I will include a tiny planchette for getting lessons with past banjoists!</p>
<p>I think John meant that Morley used a footstool, not necessary one of mine.</p>
<p>I think I am going to go ahead and make 12 more and put them on my website, here, and BHO to see what happens. They would be done for a couple of months though-- full schedule ahead for me.</p>

<p>LOL. John, it sounds like Joel ought to seek an endorsement deal with Joe Morley!</p>
<p>"The Joel Hooks footrest is paranormally endorsed by the finest players who ever played. Spectrally enhanced, Joe's signature can be found by 'connecting the dots' among the birds-eyes in the maple."</p>
<p>Now, what did I do with my Ouija board? ;-)</p>

<p>I'm now the happy owner of one of Joel's footstools. They're the perfect height for banjo playing and Joe Morley used one, so if you want to play like Joe you absolutely need one...</p>

<p>I've just been searching for the old footstool without success; since I don't play in public much anymore I use a volume of Jeffrey Archer novelettes which, with the pages taped round, I find is the ideal height for my leg, and the bright blue cover ensures that I don't trip over it as I stumble about the house. Other volumes worth considering are things by politicians, nice and thick and mostly unread. I'm going to keep on looking for the footstool as it will give me a new purpose in life,…</p>

Other volumes worth considering are things by politicians, nice and thick and mostly unread. I'm going to keep on looking for the footstool as it will give me a new purpose in life, it must be somewhere, my wife and daughters keep tidying my stuff up and making everything neat and tidy and impossible to find.<br/> <br/> <cite>Joel Hooks said:</cite></p>

I am starting to think that after the rally I just might make up a dozen of them and see what happens.</p>
<p>At this point in time China might cost more! But I'd rather not get into politics here.</p>

People value craftsmanship and fine materials these days and $125 is not a bad price for the best on the market. Of course you could send the plans to China and see how much they will make them for. I would buy one but I've got another type of wooden footstool which has sentimental value I'll send you a photo of it .</p>
